Product Description

What do you get when you cross Henry’s jokes with Tony Ross? The greatest funnies on Earth. Jokes so brilliant (and with such amazing pictures) that Henry is itching to share them. Which is great, because we’re sure that you’ll be itching to laugh at them too. Now, this book is a bit special. It’s got all of Henry’s nastiest jokes. But it’s also got lots of evil extras that his classmates at school have tossed in. Jokes so horrid that they hurt. Dare you laugh at them?

Author/Illustrator

Francesca Simon is the author of the hugely successful Horrid Henry series, which has sold over 15 million copies. Henry is a terrible (but loveable) tearaway who leaves grown-ups in tears, and playmates cowering! Short chapters and line drawings from Tony Ross make these great choices for newly confident readers.

More about Francesca: “I was born in St Louis, Missouri, grew up in Los Angeles and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where I specialised in Medieval Studies. I then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue.

After my son Joshua was born in 1989, I started writing children’s books full time.

I have published over 50 books, including the immensely popular Horrid Henry series, published in 17 countries and now a successful CITV animation series.

I live in London with my husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel called Shanti.”
